Answer 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Total time spent on work, drive cook and sleep
--------------------------------------------------------------------


`8 (2)/(4) + 1 (1)/(4) + (3)/(4) + 7 (2)/(4)`


`= 16 (8)/(4)`


`= 18`

------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate Free Time
------------------------------------------------------------------
24 - 18 = 6

------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 6 hours of free time
